Described herein are compounds of Formula (S-I), pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Compounds described herein are useful for inhibiting arginine methyltransferase activity. Methods of using the compounds for treating arginine methyltransferase-mediated disorders are also described.
The oxadi-π-methane rearrangement of 2,4-cyclohexadienones to bicyclic ketones was found to proceed with high enantioselectivity (92–97% ee) in the presence of catalytic amounts of a chiral Lewisacid (15 examples, 52–80% yield). A notable feature of the transformation is the fact that it proceeds on the singlet hypersurface and that no triplet intermediates are involved. Rapid racemic background reactions

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for achieving the efficient allylic oxidation of organic molecules, especially olefins and steroids, under aqueous conditions. The invention concerns the use of dirhodium (II,II) “paddlewheel complexes, and in particular, dirhodium carboximate and tert-butyl hydroperoxide as catalysts for the reaction. The use of aqueous conditions is particularly advantageous in the allylic oxidation of 7-keto steroids, which could not be effectively oxidized using anhydrous methods, and in extending allylic oxidation to enamides and enol ethers.

The invention relates to a process comprising reacting mevalonic acid, or a solution comprising mevalonic acid, to yield a first product or first product mixture, optionally in the presence of a solid catalyst and/or at elevated temperature and/or pressure. The invention further relates to a process comprising: (a) providing a microbial organism that expresses a biosynthetic mevalonic acid pathway; (b) growing the microbial organism in fermentation medium comprising suitable carbon substrates, whereby biobased mevalonic acid is produced; and (c) reacting said biobased mevalonic acid to yield a first product or first product mixture.
A novel silver(I)-catalyzed ring-contractive rearrangement of 5-substituted 6-diazo-2-cyclohexenones has been developed, providing a new and efficient access to 5-alkylidene-2-cyclopentenones. The AgOTf-catalyzed reaction proceeds through metal–carbenoid formation followed by endocyclic allyl [1,2] migration with excellent stereoselectivity and broad substrate scope.
